CIGAR HOLDER.

Application filed April 21, 1925. Seria1'No..24,722.

Another object is to provide a cigar holder,

having adjusted means thereon for supporting a-cigar at any position thruout its length so that they same isnot easily displaced or disengaged from its position in the mouthpiece.

Still another object is to provide a cigar holder having means thereon whereby the cigar may be pierced by a securing hook situated within the mouthpiece of the ClG-n vlce.

The above and other objects will become apparent in the description below, in which characters of reference refer to like-named parts in the drawing.

Referring brieflyto the drawing, Figure 1 is a front el-evational viewof the cigar holder, showing the cigar mounted in place in its end.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional elevational view of the cigar holder mouthpiece, showing the means of fixing the end of a cigar within the mouthpiece.

Figure 4 is a front elevational View of Figure 1 with the cigar omitted therefrom.

Referring in detail to the drawing, the numeral 10 indicates the body of the mouthpiece. This mouthpiece body has a coredout portion 11 at its front end and at the opposite end, an encircling flange 12 is formed thru which means the mouthpiece may be securely gripped between the teeth of the person. This body is conical in outline and has a channel formed axially therein which extends from the flanged'end to the cored-out portion 11 and has a draft tube 13 secured therein. This draft tube projects into the cored-out portion 11 of the mouthpiece and is formed into an upwardly curving point 14 in which a single hole 15 is provided, the hole serving as a vent be be displaced by jarring or the like.

tween the cigar 16 whose end is impinged 011 the pointed end of the tube 14 of the opening in the tubular member 13. The pointed end of the tubular member 13 curves upwardly toward the top of themouthpiece of the holder and is made removable by fit ting the pointed portion of the tubular member with a threaded stud projection which is adapted to engage threads on the free end' of said tubular member so that when desired, this pointed end may be removed for-purposes of cleaning or the like.'

Intermediate the length of the mouthpiece, a ring 17 encircles the/same and is fixedly mounted on the periphery thereof. This ring has an off-set arm 18 extending toward one end of the mouthpiece and projects for a distance in front. This arm is provided with a longitudinal slot 19, the purpose for which will be more fully hereinafter described. On the arm 18, the ends of a pair of lazy tongs 20 and 21 are pivoted. The intersecting portions of these lazy tongs have pins 22 and 23 passingtherethru. One of the ends of these pins project. above the surfaces of the lazy tongs and register in the longitudinal slot 19, being retained thereinby peening over the heads of the pins soas to form a shoulder thereon. The pin 23 has an additional support ring 2% attached thereto which may be rotated about as indicated by the numeral 25 may be sup- I ported at a position intermediate its length.

The main purpose of this invention is to provide a cigar holder in which the characteristics are that a sure draft is had between the cigar and the mouthpiece of the cigar holder and that the cigar is supported in the mouthpiece in such manner that it may 1312i;

e cigar is inserted into the cored-out portion 11 of the mouthpiece body 10 by tilting it and the pointed end which is curved upwardly punctures the wrapper of the cigar 16 and enters into the material forming the cigar, as indicated in Figure 3. The smoke is inhaled from the cigar thru the opening or 16 fits loosely into the cored-out portion 11 of the mouthpiece of the cigar holder and is supported upon the tubular member 13 and the movable support ring 24, the latter being connected to the lazy tongs 21 and 20 which are in turn anchored to the rigid bar 18., as shown. By manipulating the lazy tongs, the support ring 2& may be moved to any position along the length of the cigar from the edge of the mouthpiece body 10 to a position intermediate the length of the cigar in which itis desired to support the same, it being understood that the position of the support ring is to be manually varied as the cigar is being gradually consumed.

A distinct purpose is served by forming the tubular member pointed and by provid ing an opening or vent in its walls. This pointed portion of the tubular member is adapted to puncture the wrapper of the cigar and when the smoke is being inhaled from the burning cigar, the nicotine element contained in the cigar is retained free and separate of the saliva, a small quantity of which usually flows in the mouthpiece of a cigar holder. By curving the pointed end of the tubular member upwardly the saliva in said member is retained and separated from the nicotine by the construction of the member.

I claim l. A cigar holder comprising a mouthpiece, a ring mounted on said mouthpiece, a har extending forwardly from said ring, and means slidahle on said bar for supporting a cigar at various positions along its length.

2. A cigar holder comprising a mouthp a n mo n ed 01 an m uthp e a bar extending forwardly from said ring, said bar having a slot therein extending lengthwise, a lazy tongs, a ring mounted on one end of said lazy 'tongs adapted to be moved when the lazy tongs are actuated, said bar being adapted to support said lazy tongs in various positions.

3. A cigar holder comprising a mouthpiece, a ring mounted on said mouthpiece, a bar extending forwardly from said ring, said bar having a slot therein extending lengthwise, a lazy tongs, a ring mounted on one end of said lazy tongs adapted to be moved when the lazy tongs are actuated, said bar being adapted to support said lazy tongs in various positions, the opposite end of said lazy tongs being pivotally anchored to said bar, and pins projecting from the crossing members of the lazy tongs and adapted to move in the slot of the bar to permit extensibility of the ring mounted on the lazy tongs.

4. A cigar holder comprising a mouthpiece having an opening passing therethru, a ring mounted near one end of said mouthpiece, a; bar extending forwardly from the mouthpiece at the side of the latter, and means guided on said bar for adjustably supporting a cigar at various positions along its length.

5. A cigar holder comprising a mouth piece, a ring mounted rigid on said mouthpiece, a slotted bar integral with said ring ofi-set from the latter and extending orwardly from the mouthpiece, a lazy tongs guided in the. slotted portion of said bar, and a ring pivotally mounted on said lazy tongs adapted to permit adjustability of the ends of the cigar to snugly lit into the mouthpiece.

In testimony whereof I afar; my signature.
